These White Chocolate Lemon Blondies are ridiculously amazing! So easy and delicious! My new favorite!
I am going to tell you that these bars are ridiculous. Honestly one of my new favorites…which is annoying because I feel like I have been saying that a lot lately…
Like if everything is a favorite then nothing’s a favorite, I mean right? You can’t favorite EVERYTHING!
But these really are. A favorite, I mean. Maybe my most favorite…I mean for today.
The unfortunate thing about these bars, though, is that no one else who resides in my home likes lemon baked stuff. But they DO, however like lemonade. And lemon candy. And, oh yeah, raw lemons.
Which basically makes no sense. Except here’s the even MORE annoying thing…I don’t like lemonade. Or lemon candy. Or even lemons, really. But baked goods with lemon? BRANG IT!
So basically my family and I are all backwards lemon weirdos. Anyway. These bars rocked my Sunday afternoon.
White Chocolate Lemon Blondies.
They go together with just a few steps. Love a completely non-complicated dessert!
Just make your batter and add in some white chocolate…
Spread about half of it in a lined pan…
Then grab a whole jar of lemon curd.
Why oh why do they call it curd. It’s annoying and gross sounding.
But it’s delicious.
Drop that by tablespoons all over…
See?
The whole jar, guys.
Then smear the rest of the dough all over the top.
And give it a swirly.
Then bake it up. Let it cool completely before cutting into squares…or even removing it from the pan.
All that curd in there makes it loosey-goosey. So be patient.
Then finally…yes!

we are definitely doing these in our kitchen and even probably add it to our menus ! WHITE CHOCOLATE LEMON BLONDIES just the sounds of it makes you drool !!
I made some raspberry curd and used it in the recipe. I am here to tell you that if the result were a person, I would have cheated on my husband with it. SO EFFIN GOOD.
Hi – I made these last night and they turned out just like your picture, and taste delicious! The curd is still fairly gooey, though – is that how they’re supposed to be? Yum yum!
Hi. I just want to ask, is there a substitute for lemon curd? Since its kinda hard to find that all the way here in PI.
Thanks 😀
You could use a lemon pie filling… it would work very similarly.
Seriously delicious! They look so moist and almost fudge-like. I bet they’d be good with lime curd, too!
You have me at lemon!
I never had lemon curd but I’ve stocked up now as I think these are going to be my favorite bars as soon as I make them once!
I just made these bars but substituted lemon pie filling for lemon curd because I couldn’t find any lemon curd at the local store. They were good, but I’m sure they would have been better with the curd. :/
White choco blondies are definitely the best–looks like you’ve still got some summer zest in you, which I love (autumn = too soon! Or I’m in denial). Thank you for sharing this–totally going into my to-do folder!
wow, they look delicious
